Changes

IMSMA {{IMSMANG}} allows you to create, change, and remove delete fields which are not predefined in IMSMA. These fields are referred to as custom defined fields Custom Defined Fields (CDFs). CDFs can be added to field report items (accident, hazard, hazard reduction, location, MRE, QC, and victim) and Auxiliary data but not to country structure area, explosive ordnance, organisation, and placethe Data Entry Form item.

CDFs added to accident, hazard, hazard reduction, location, MRE, QC, and victim can be added to field report templates so that they become part of the paper-based field report ([[:Image:uMFig142.png|Figure 142]]). [[Image:uMFig142.png|center|''Figure 142. CDFs and Field Report Items'']] After users add data to the field report and the field report is approved, the data entered into the custom defined field can be viewed in the Current View window ([[:Image:uMFig143.png|Figure 143]]).  [[Image:uMFig143.png|center|''Figure 143. Custom Defined Field Viewable in Current View Window'']] You can enter data for CDFs that are added to place, explosive ordnance, organisation, or country structure area via their applicable Editor windows ([[:Image:uMFig144.png|Figure 144]]).  [[Image:uMFig144.png|center|''Figure 144.
